Expert Flyer site question

Has anyone ever used Exper Flyer? It was recommended to me to look up award tickets. I signed up for the free trial today, but the site locks up everytime I try and find tickets. Its the same thing I have happen when a site is really pulling a lot of data, but I am trying to see if anyone has had this issue and has some idea of how to minimize this. I literally can't even open the page anymore without re-starting internet explorer (is that my problem??).

So if anyone has any hints - I would greatly appreciate it! If this is in the wrong thread - let me know where to go, but was looking at it for a United award, so figured I would start here!!

Welcome to ExpertFlyer nelsoji. Due to the potentially large amount of flights returned, if you are using IE 7 or 8 then the browser may lock up momentarily while the data is being organized, however it will release when the Javascript is done running. You can minimize the amount of flights returned by selecting Direct/Non-stop only flights in your search (if possible). IE 9, Firefox, Safari, or Chrome won't have this problem.

Thanks for the responses!!! I ran the search in Mozilla and it worked when I did that so it was likely an issue where I was using an antiquated web browser to do the searches!!! FWIW, I did like the EF site. I understand there may be free/other ways to get that information, but it gave me the exact info I was looking for., Thanks again and for anyone who happens to search this thread with same issues - try a different (better?) browser - that worked immediately for me!!
